“Star, wake up,” whispered Ava.
  
 Star was asleep in her stable. She looked so sweet, with her eyes shut tight and her yellow- and-purple mane curling over her white coat. Ava smoothed a lilac curl that was sticking up around Star’s spiraled gold-and-purple horn.
  
 “Ava?” Star’s eyes snapped open and she scrambled to her hooves. “It’s early, even for you. Is something wrong?”
  
 Ava grinned. “No, everything’s fine. I’m just excited! Last night the teachers told us we’re going on a scavenger hunt this morning instead of lessons. We’ve got to collect things from around the school grounds in teams!”
  
 Star pricked up her ears. “That sounds fun!”
  
 Ava nodded. “I woke up thinking about it, and when I looked out the window, I saw something I had to show you. Come with me!”

 “Good plan!” said Star eagerly. “I’ll dig the holes.”
  
 “That would be brilliant.” Ava kissed her unicorn on the purple star on her forehead. “I love having you as my unicorn. I can’t imagine being partnered with a unicorn who didn’t like gardening!”
  
 “And I can’t imagine being partnered with a girl who didn’t like nature!” said Star, her warm breath tickling Ava and making her giggle.
  
 Ava and Star had been paired together in January, three months ago, when they’d both started at Unicorn Academy. Ava still found it hard to believe that she was really here, training to become a guardian of wonderful Unicorn Island.
